Merge Healthcare has been informed by Schiller AG (Baar, Switzerland) of an issue with the Schiller ARGUS PB-3000 Patient Data Module (PDM) where certain units trigger an error message on the Merge Hemo Client ( Pressure Sensor Defective ) during non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements, specifically when the initial inflation pressure is set in the high-pressure range (>240 mmHg). The ARGUS PB-3000 is a vital signs monitoring instrument intended to be integrated into the Merge Hemo System. No other components of the Merge Hemo System are affected.
When following a specific less typical workflow in which the user remeasures using the ultrasound device or manually edits primitive or derived measurement values directly in Clinical Reporting, derived measurements may be inconsistent with the associated primitive measurements in the final patient report.
